Hobbies can vary in their nature, as some individuals may prefer scrapbooking to golf. However, certain people have chosen a more substantial undertaking to occupy their free time, as many old farmers have continued to maintain and operate the machinery that made their profession possible.

Woodbury, Minnesota resident Mike Horn has had the same hobby for many years, as he has chosen to preserve history through the maintenance of his favorite vehicle, according to the Woodbury Patch.

Horn collects John Deere machinery, as he developed a love for the products due to the fact that he was raised on a Wisconsin farm. The Woodbury resident owns four early lawn and garden tractors, along with two larger models, the news source reported.

"In its model designation, the B stands for model, the N stands for narrow, which means single front wheel, and the H stands for high," Horn told the Patch. "This tractor is four inches higher in front due to the yoke used on the front wheel, and comes with 40-inch wheels and a different draw bar setup that raises the tractor two inches in the rear."

Individuals who are familiar with older John Deere products may enjoy the new line of tractors that are produced by the farm equipment company.
